Russell,

I missed the report last night but find this information to be not
surprising .
It is awfully "coincidental" to me, that everytime Audi sales start
rocketing
upward the news media tries their best to thwart Audi's progress. Remember
the
popularity of the Audi 3-year test drive back in the late 80's early 90's?
The
60-minutes sudden acceleration charge came out around then.  Could it be
that
the competition "buys" these type of attacks?
(You betcha!)

A fellow Audi enthusiast
